Some Christians say well what about this verse from the Koran:

(61.6) And remember, Jesus, the son of Mary, said: "O Children of Israel! I am the apostle of God (sent) to you, confirming the Law (which came) before me, and giving Glad Tidings of an Messenger to come after me, whose name shall be Ahmad." But when he came to them with Clear Signs, they said, "this is evident sorcery!"

They say it not in the Gospel. However the Gospel confirms this and says says otherwise:

"But the Paraclete, the Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you." John 14:26

"But I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Paraclete shall not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you." John 16:7

"When the Paraclete comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, that is the Spirit of Truth, who proceeds from the Father, he will bear witness of me." John 15:26

"But when he, the Spirit of Truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth; for he will not speak on his own initiative, but whatever he hears, he will speak..." Jn. 16:13

"He shall glorify me." John 16:14

"He shall take mine and shall disclose it to you." John. 16:14

"He will teach you all things." John 14:26

"He will bring to your remembrance all that I said to you." John. 14:26

"He will bear witness of me" John 15:26

Clearly Jesus is talking about someone who will say what is revealed to him and will not speak from his own desire.

The koran say:

53.3. Nor does he say of (his own) Desire.

53.4. It is no less than inspiration sent down to him:

Also

203. If thou bring them not a revelation, they say: "Why hast thou not got it together?" Say: "I but follow what is revealed to me from my Lord: this is (nothing but) lights from your Lord, and Guidance, and mercy, for any who have faith."

21:107-109 (O Prophet?) 'We have not sent you except to be a mercy to all mankind:" Declare, "Verily, what is revealed to me is this, your God is the only One God, so is it not up to you to bow down to Him?' But if they turn away then say, "I have delivered the Truth in a manner clear to one and all, and I know not whether the promised hour is near or far."

Conclusion.

The Koran is here to support and confirm the previous scriptures. A reminder to many not to abandon the scriptures and follow men. The scriptures must be read as a WHOLE and not in isolation. This will ensure the divine protection that God has given them reach and guide us. Thus as a Koranist I reject abrogation and alternative sources for inspiration whether its hadiths or otherwise. The Koran as Torah and Gosepl explain themselves and must be read a s a whole. Nothing hidden, ignored or claimed to be abrogated.

Then is it only a part of the Book that ye believe in, and do ye reject the rest? But what is the reward for those among you who behave like this but disgrace in this life? - And on the Day of Judgment they shall be consigned to the most grievous penalty. For God is not unmindful of what ye do. ( 2,85)
